Chapter 222 The Unexpected Encounter
"The Deputy Commander in Chief?" the team leader repeated. His expression dramatically changed as
he did not expect that Rocky would abruptly mention his senior leader, Deputy Commander in Chief,
who was a tough woman he didn''t dare offend.
"And I forgot to tell you that I and your Deputy Commander in Chief are quite familiar with each other,"
Rocky bragged proudly. As the spirit maniptors from the Crimson Dragon Group were quite
unreasonable, Rocky had to use their senior leader to scare them off. He did not know if it was going to
work but he had to try. It was the only idea that dawned on him.
"Hey, brat, are you tired of staying alive or what? How can our Deputy Commander in Chief know you?
You are no better than a piece of garbage. You are cracking me up! Let''s cut the crap and get down to
business. Catch him now!" the team leader ordered ferociously. He certainly wouldn''t believe what
Rocky just said for all he believed was that Rocky was just bluffing him, trying to take advantage of his
leader''s authority.
When Rocky realized the team leader wouldn''t listen and let go of him, he was at a loss and his mind
was racing fast for ideas to get out of his trouble. But before he coulde up with another idea, the
three spirit maniptors of the team quickly began to catch as ordered. Instinctively, Rocky took a few
steps back. Each of the three spirit maniptors'' strength wasparable to his. In short, they could
catch him easily. So, the best and only way to get rid of his current dilemma was to run away as fast as
he could.
At that very moment, the sky above their heads was overshadowed abruptly. Everyone stopped. Rocky
looked up and saw three war dragons flying over the sky. The dragon in front had silver scales all over
its body, glistening under the shining of the sunlight. At first nce, it looked so mighty and
domineering. Meanwhile, they also saw a figure riding on the back of each war dragon.
"It''s Silver Wind, the war dragon of Deputy Command in Chief," a spirit maniptor of the team blurted
out the moment he spotted the silver war dragon.
When Rocky heard that, he immediately stared at the silver war dragon. He had a careful observation
and soon saw a delicate figure was riding on the back of the silver war dragon. Realizing who it was, he
Soon, the silver war dragon flew down towards the area where Rocky and the other spirit maniptors
stood, while the other two war dragons flew towards the area where the extremely rare Heaven Divine
Lotus had just appeared.
After the silver war dragonnded on the ground, it immediately stirred up a gust of wind, spreading
dust, sand, and stone. Soon, a figure jumped from the back of the silver war dragon andnded lightly
on the ground. Her gracefulness attracted the attention of the spirit maniptors and their eyes
glistened.
Without any hesitation, they knelt on one knee immediately in front of the woman and chorused
respectfully, "Deputy Commander in Chief!"
She was Isis, the Deputy Commander in Chief of their Crimson Dragon Group who was considered to
be a mighty leader with absolute authority amongst her soldiers.
She threw a strange nce at Rocky because she was not expecting to see him there.
The riot caused by Rocky at the area where the Heaven Divine Lotus appeared had made the spirit
maniptors including those two groups of spirit maniptors from the Crimson Dragon Group suffer a
lot. Finally, the two groups of spirit maniptors had to send a message to their base camp to ask for
help.
Isis, who received their message, dispatched two squads of spirit maniptors plus one troop with 3,
000 soldiers to support them. She and two powerful royal spirit maniptors drove their respective
dragons and rushed to offer aid.
After passing the sky above this area where Rocky and the spirit maniptors were standing, Isis
immediately sensed the breath of the spirit maniptors from the Crimson Dragon Group. Thus, she
went down to see what happened. Unexpectedly, she saw Rocky surrounded by the spirit maniptors
from her camp.
Isis cast a nce at Rocky and then, turned to the captain of the team, asking sternly, "What is going
on here?"
"Deputy Commander in Chief, you''ve just arrived at the perfect time. We found the Rainbow Glow
Unicorn just now," the captain immediately told Isis with cupped hands, as if he were asking for a
reward.
"What? Is there really a Rainbow Glow Unicorn?" Isis asked, a little taken aback, but she quickly
regained herposure and calmly asked, "Where is this Rainbow Glow Unicorn now?"
"Deputy Commander in Chief, we could have captured the Rainbow Glow Unicorn alive, but this guy
ruined every effort we had made and made the Unicorn escape. He didn''t admit what he had done.
Instead, he kept saying that you are familiar with each other. I believe he is just seeking for death by
inventing such stories..." the captain reported feverishly, adding twisted details to what really had
transpired. Then, he looked at Rocky with a sneer. He was certain that after he had reported such an
annoying incident to his senior leader, Rocky would then be in serious trouble.
After hearing the report, Isis turned to Rocky and asked, "Is what the captain said true? You told them
that we are familiar with each other?"
"What Rainbow Glow Unicorn? I know nothing about that! But I did say that we are familiar," Rocky
calmly replied.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, this man is guilty of a heinous crime by using your name illegally. He
should be severely punished!" the captain seemed to try his best to give Rocky a hard time.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, we are familiar with each other, right? Do you remember thatst time,
we have beenpletely ''honest'' with each other?" Rocky reminded Isis slowly as he threw a nce
at the captain. Actually, he also suggested implicitly that he had identally witnessed her being naked
before.
Immediately, Isis couldn''t help but think of the embarrassing incident the other day—he happened to be
in her room when she was changing clothes. Suddenly, her cheeks were flushed, and she red at
Rocky with a grudge. After a little hesitation, she bit her lips and said to the captain, "Yes, I do know
him."
The captain and other spirit maniptors exchanged looks with each other and were stupefied. They
had thought that Rocky was bluffing them; it never urred to them that their authoritative leader
would have admitted in public that she knew Rocky.
"It turned out that you are a friend of our Deputy Commander in Chief. I give my apologies that I may
have offended you before. But please do forgive me. I didn''t mean it!" the captain immediately
apologized with cupped hands. He was good at bending with the wind. To prevent Rocky from speaking
ill of him, he had to act quick and apologized first so that his senior leader wouldn''t be irritated with him.
Rocky was stunned to hear those apologetic words from the captain. With nothing to say, he sneered
coldly at the captain, who looked a little bit embarrassed.
"Since the Rainbow Glow Unicorn has appeared, why are you still dilly-dallying here?" Isis immediately
questioned the captain.
The captain''s face changed drastically. He hurriedly exined to his senior leader, "Deputy
Commander in Chief, please allow me to exin. It''s not that we are dilly-dallying. It''s because..." He
stopped abruptly, walked to Isis and whispered something in her ear.
Isis narrowed her eyes and drove her attention to Rocky after she heard what the captain said.
After a moment of thought, she demanded, "I know of it now. You should join the other teams at once.
Let me settle this matter with Rocky."
The captain immediately led his other members and left the grounds, leaving Rocky and Isis alone to
talk.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, your authority is quite impressive!" Rocky teased as he looked at Isis.

"Do you know what the captain has told me just now?" Isis said with a cold look in her eyes.
"How am I supposed to know that? But I guess it was not something nice about me." Rocky shrugged
and smiled.
"Did you get the seeds produced by the Heaven Divine Lotus?" Isis questioned, without beating around
the bush.
"What are you talking about? What ''Heaven Divine Lotus''? What seeds? I have never heard of them!"
Rocky said innocently. He was ying dumb on purpose. He certainly wouldn''t tell Isis that he had
acquired the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds. If she knew he got it, she would give her best to get it. He
knew her quite well—she wouldn''t give up until her purpose was realized.
"Then, tell me, why did the Rainbow Glow Unicorn walk to you?" Isis kept questioning him, reading him
for more answers.
"If the Rainbow Glow Unicorn is the beast I saw just now, then I can tell you that I really don''t know why
it suddenly came to me. Maybe the beast thought that I am innocent, cute and kind, and it is fond of
me." Rocky expressed his banter with Isis.
"You..." Isis was choked with rage. Realizing that Rocky was arrogant and fond of teasing, she was
greatly annoyed. Her eyes grew sharp and her mind raced fast, ''This guy really doesn''t give the respect
the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group deserves. If others dared to treat me
like that, I will take immediate action to teach them a lesson they''ll never forget.
Yet, he has been given an exemption from death by my father. What can I do now?''
